"B*stard! Don't you have any explanation for hurting someone like that without any reason? Do you want to destroy the Yardley Family?" Old Master Yardley reproached.
Benedict tried to calm Old Master Yardley down, "Grandpa, Maddox has his reasons for doing things. I've never seen him deal with anyone before. Perhaps, this time, Chandler really angered him. Maddox, at least tell us what happened. Tell us, how did Chandler offend you?"
"Oh, why do you guys have to know about my affairs?" Maddox was extremely arrogant. He did not care about Old Master Yardley and Benedict at all. However, Kimberly knew that he was trying to not get her involved.
She knew it. Last time when she stood up for him, he had stopped her. She knew that he didn't want to drag her into this mess.
But... there was no reason for him to defend her.
It was time for her to stand up for herself. She didn't need Maddox to defend her every time.
Thinking of this, Kimberly stood up before Old Master Yardley angrily again.
"It was because of me," Kimberly stepped forward and blurted. Although she was thin and small, she blocked Maddox's figure.
Maddox paused and frowned. "When was it your turn to speak?" He asked.
Hearing this, Kimberly's face paled. Would he say that she was just an outsider again? She just didn't want him to get blamed this time. She continued, "It was because Chandler kidnapped me!"
"What?" Benedict was shocked. "Kimberly, did you say that Chandler kidnapped you? This..."
Old Master Yardley stared at her with his shrewd eyes, asking, "He kidnapped you? When did this happen?"
Before Kimberly could speak, Maddox rolled his wheelchair and came over. Kimberly was afraid that he would get scolded just because he defended her. Therefore, she hurriedly answered, "Last night, he kidnapped me at the banquet."
Maddox frowned and cursed, "D*mn it!"
Who did she think she was to stand up for him? Was he the kind of person who needed someone else to stand up for him?
"Old Master, I know that you may think it's unbelievable, but Chandler did kidnap me. Furthermore, he spoke ill of Maddox and attacked him personally. You wouldn't want to see your grandson being attacked like this, would you?" She glanced at Maddox and felt the cold look in his eyes, but she could no longer watch him take on everything by himself.
"I wanted to say it before, but I didn't have a chance. Old Master, don't blame Maddox anymore, please?" Kimberly asked.
Old Master Yardley narrowed his eyes and stared at her without saying a word. On the contrary, Benedict came forward and asked nervously, "Chandler kidnapped you? Did you get hurt?"
Kimberly took a step back to Maddox's side and answered softly, "No, I didn't, Maddox saved me."
Kimberly looked at Old Master Yardley again and saw that he was still staring at her. There was no other meaning.
Kimberly had to explain to Old Master Yardley what Maddox had told her that night, "Chandler is a total wild card. The project with Lovis Enterprises is a long-term project. I've checked it out. It is more worthy to cooperate with Fisher Enterprise than Lovis Enterprises!"
Hearing what she said, Maddox raised his eyebrows and looked Kimberly up and down.
This woman... was smarter than he had imagined. She could even figure out this.
Ah~ No wonder she was his woman.
Maddox's dark eyes showed a hint of joy.
"I hope Old Master can understand us," Kimberly added.
"Did you hear that, Old Man?" Maddox added.
Kimberly's expression changed slightly as she clenched onto her coat. "This b*stard, it's not easy for me to say so much, yet he dares to say that. Does he want to drive me crazy?" She thought to herself.
She pushed Maddox away and ran back to Old Master Yardley. "Old Master, I'm really sorry. However, it's not a loss for the Yardley Corporation if we can't cooperate with Lovis Enterprises. As long as we can cooperate with Fisher Enterprise, it's still a big win," Kimberly said.
Old Master Yardley fixed his gaze on her and asked, "Are you sure?"
